All major intersections on Center Ridge Road in the city will have officers on the road to stop traffic during the ride, said Westlake Cpt. Guy Turner.

If you’ve got a bike of any make or model, you can still get in on the run. Registration runs from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday morning at Lake Erie Harley Davidson, 38401 Chester Rd. in Avon, or you can register in-store before then.

Individual riders can donate one new toy or $20, and couples can donate two new toys or $35 to register. Suggested donations include bedside crafts, board games, handheld video games, books, DVDs and Playdoh. New toys only will be accepted.

The ride will go ahead rain or shine.
